Las Palmas vs Real Sociedad prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2025-04-05 12:00.
[p]Las Palmas should be pleased to have come from behind and earned a point at Celta Vigo, even though it means they have failed to win 12 consecutive games in all competitions (D4, L8), including 11 in La Liga. That awful run of form means that Diego MartĂnez’s men have gone from being seven points clear of the relegation zone at the start of 2025 to being one point adrift of safety going into matchday 30. [/p]
[p]They’ve made things difficult for themselves by letting in the game’s opening goal in eight of their last nine matches this season, although they at least avoided that fate in a 0-0 draw at Real Sociedad earlier this season. However, that result forms part of a sorry record against their upcoming opponents of no wins in the last seven H2Hs (D3, L4), with Las Palmas failing to even score in the last four (D2, L2). [/p]
[p]Sociedad could be the more tired and deflated of the two teams here, as they were on the wrong end of a 5-4 aggregate result in their Copa del Rey semi-final tie against Real Madrid following an epic 4-4 draw in Tuesday’s second leg, which went to extra time. Despite the attacking verve that the Basque outfit showcased at the Bernabéu, it was defensively another familiar story, as Imanol Alguacil’s men have now kept just one clean sheet in their last 13 matches across all competitions. [/p]
[p]They look set to take advantage of Las Palmas’ slow starts after opening the scoring in each of their last four encounters, but with only one win earned from those games (D2, L1), Alguacil certainly has issues to address. That much is apparent when looking at their league position, as they are currently tenth with 38 points – their worst tally at this stage of a Spanish top-flight campaign since 2018/19 (37 points). [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Alberto Moleiro scored his sixth goal this season on Monday when equalising at Celta, although Las Palmas have gone on to win just one of his scoring games (D4, L1). Mikel Oyarzabal, meanwhile, has found the net five times in his last three matches for club and country, but none of his last seven goalscoring appearances have seen his side on the day keep a clean sheet. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Sociedad have picked up only one first-half yellow card across their last five league games. [/p]
